Spenzo 0.5 Tablet is used to treat schizophrenia and other mental disorder that affects the way you feel, think or behave. It contains Flupentixol, which works by blocking the effects of chemical messengers in the brain (i.e., dopamine), thereby helps in improving mood, behavior, and thoughts. It reduces the symptoms of the disease and prevents them from coming back. It may cause sleepiness, dryness in the mouth, orthostatic hypotension (sudden lowering of blood pressure on standing), weight gain, abnormality of voluntary movements (expression of thought through action), urinary retention (completely emptying the bladder), increased prolactin level in the blood, muscle stiffness, constipation, and tremor. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

Health Queries

How does Bipolar mood disorder affect communication?

M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

Bipolar mood disorder can affect communication because mood swings influence how you express yourself and interact with others. During a manic phase, a person may speak very fast, jump between topics, or interrupt others, making conversations hard to follow. In a depressive phase, they may become quiet, withdrawn, or slow to respond, which can make expressing thoughts or feelings difficult. Awareness, therapy, and treatment help improve communication and relationships over time.

How can I overcome bipolar disorder?

Bipolar disorder cannot be completely cured, but you can manage it effectively with the right approach. Take your medications regularly, attend therapy or counselling, maintain a stable routine with good sleep, a healthy diet, and regular exercise, and avoid alcohol or drugs. Learning to recognise early signs of mood changes and having a strong support system can help prevent relapses. With consistent care and follow-up, many people with bipolar disorder lead stable and fulfilling lives.

What is the relationship between bipolar disorder (psychosis) and OCD?

G.santoshini Reddy

G.santoshini Reddy

M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

Bipolar disorder with psychosis and OCD can sometimes coexist, meaning a person may experience mood swings along with obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviours. While bipolar disorder affects energy, mood, and reality perception, OCD leads to repetitive thoughts and actions that feel hard to control. Having both can make symptoms more complex, so treatment usually involves a careful combination of mood stabilisers, therapy, and sometimes OCD-specific medications, guided by a psychiatrist.

I am suffering from bipolar disorder. What should I do?

M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

If you have bipolar disorder, it is important to take your prescribed medicines regularly and never stop them on your own. Keep a stable daily routine, get enough sleep, exercise, eat healthy, and manage stress. Therapy or counselling can help you cope with mood changes, and support from family or friends is very helpful. Regular follow-ups with your psychiatrist are essential to adjust treatment and keep your symptoms under control, helping you live a more stable and fulfilling life.
